Scientifically something interesting to ponder.:

Everyday, your body makes new cells. The cells multiplied are not identical and have make changes based on your bodily experiences. All of your cells you have today did not exist 10, 5 years ago. Not when you were you were born. You are physically a different person than you were born as. It makes you wonder how much change we can influence within our cells everyday, influence who we will become. What manipulatives effect our cells, ourselves in what way. I am a different person than 20 years ago.

I am not the same. I make a conscious choice to endure the steps to make those changes. It is hard, it is constant. I have cognitively altered my perceptions to my advantage of peace and happiness. (Of course I still have so much incredible mountains to climb) I wonder what effect I can have on the viruses in me, the messages sent electrically from my brain to my muscles, nerves, muscles, organs. i hear (?) the liver has the most 'memory' of ny cells in our body. Our livers are so resistant to change. So much goes through our liver.

What do you think of this? Feel free to agree, disagree, do not worry about insulting or attacking me. Be careful not to credit me for the whole info on cell memory. I have heard it from several medical, research sources. (And the Movie "They Eye" with ...what's her name: Jessica Alba. My scar tissue, not muscle tissue, still 'speaks to me' after a total knee realignment of 20 years ago.

I am not translucent. My cells are products of our who we are, the universe is in a continual state of change. I am not boring, I am physically destined to act differently than I did 20 years ago.

I wonder how my fibro will be 10 -20 yers ago with the changes I am bound to make to continue living my life without 'trying to acknowledge' the firings in our bodies that we call fibromyalgia.

Maybe ignoring it can make it go away? Maybe ignoring it, thinking of it as our bodies having an internal locus of control, can reject it, disable it moreso. Some under the strong faith of religion claim to have instantly have it gone. Maybe their messages told their bodies so much that the 'syndrome' is not at all in control. Their faith is. I have never experienced anything like that.

Anyone support me on this? Deny me on this? Confused by this? I am interested to know. My fibro still flares, I have trouble walking. I had a good day, but tripped several times and the end of the day and my mind stopped following what was going on around me.

Ick, it is too late. I have never seen another discussion like here on this forum. So, please don't be mean to me, not that anyone has so far. I am not trying to antagonize in anyway. Or, be foolish either. I ponder things..............Wendylynn I don't know if I already sent this.

Interesting,here I was sitting at this desk content in the knowlege that I was me and now I'm not so sure,because of my age and the amount of new cells that my body has produced I may not be who I thought I was,so if this is what has happened then I'm totally screwed and if this is the case then what the hell happens when we flit back and forth through different time zones,does that mean that the cells in the body destroy themselves quicker,my brain cells were destroyed years ago and sadley they didn't replenish themselves.But as they say where theres life theres hope.
